			: Care should be taken with the Weapons Drone, even when it is taken out of sealed packaging. The mushroom pegs that secure the drone's turrets to the main body have been known to shear off in some instances, leaving the turrets themselves attached by the LED wires from within the drone. It is most noticeable if the turret is wobbly; if one attempts to turn the turret, it will take the peg along with it, as this wobble likely means the peg has already partially sheared off. A way that could possibly prevent any breakages is to untighten the two screws on the undersides of the guns themselves immediately before making any movements on the joints, to reduce any unwanted excessive friction, so you don't shear the pegs off. If needed, remove the two screws entirely and dismantle the guns, check everything over, and see if there is any minor sanding needing done to the pegs. The two black halves of the drone also appear to be glued, so excess glue that may have seeped out onto the pegs, gluing the guns in place may play a big part in this also. That being said, it is also not uncommon to find the drones' LED electronics corroded beyond use due to the included watch batteries leaking battery acid over time.

	Unlike his brawling cousin [[Bulkhead (Energon)\|Bulkhead]], '''Quickstrike''' looks before he leaps. A strategic genius with a preference for quick, surgical strikes, Quickstrike never enters into a conflict without a plan of attack. Due to his value to the Autobot cause, [[Megatron (Armada)\|Megatron]] has placed a price upon his head—but woe to any [[Decepticon]] who tries to collect.

This drone can attach to the underside of Quickstrike's copter mode to form a sort of thruster pack, and in robot mode, it forms a large backpack, with the thrusters unfolding to become large cannon/claw arms. These arms also become legs for the drone's "walker" mode, giving it something to do when not attached to Quickstrike.

	: Released in the fifth and final wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)\|Energon]]'' Command Class (Ultra) toys (and the only new item in the wave), Quickstrike is a [[redeco]] of [[Bulkhead (Energon)#Toys\|Bulkhead]], transforming into a large [[Popular Cybertronian vehicle alternate modes#Apache-esque helicopter\|Cybertronic assault helicopter somewhat resembling an Apache]]. He has a double-barreled spring-loaded missile launcher on each stabilizer wing, plus pulling the landing gear/trigger on his tail fin activates a gear that spins his rotor blades. Both [[gimmick]]s are available in robot mode, though the rotor mechanism becomes a weapon that can be held by his hands via [[5 mm post]]. The rotors themselves can detach at the base, possibly [[for safety reasons]].		: Released in the fifth and final wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)\|Energon]]'' Command Class (Ultra) toys (and the only new item in the wave), Quickstrike is a [[redeco]] of [[Bulkhead (Energon)#Toys\|Bulkhead]], transforming into a large [[Popular Cybertronian vehicle alternate modes#Apache-esque helicopter\|Cybertronic assault helicopter somewhat resembling an Apache]].
